#25 Angular Meetup

Let's test the newly arranged spaces at artech Informationssysteme GmbH :)

We have two talks this time, both from experienced speakers so let's expect an interesting evening. In addition to that, artech Informationssysteme has given us the chance to test out their new event space.

The talks:

#1 Gregor Woiwode
-- Conditional Types | Hard shell soft core --
Static typing means curse and blessing alike. They provide with TypeScript robust APIs that are initially rigid in nature. As soon as the use case deviates somewhat, there is a tendency to duplicate large parts of the source code to correspond to the typing.

But you can save yourself this effort. Using conditional types, you create dynamic APIs that are still strongly typed. Your options in programming in TypeScript expand immensely by the knowledge of this language features.

After this talk you can read, understand and use conditional types.

You will get an introduction to the syntax and the possibilities provided by TypeScript.

Afterwards, you will get an insight into a real project that illustrates the added value in practice.

-- Highly declarative UI without using templates!--
Most of the Web / mobile applications today written in traditional web framework is just mechanically assembled code with duplicates, rooted in the domain model which leads to more code and higher maintenance cost.
To improve this, MetaUI offers different ways how web application can be built today (declaratively) in order to render dynamically whole User Interface on the fly without templates rather than letting you layout your fields or components manually for every single use case over and over again.
